"Well," said John, "my personal assistant has been doing a fantastic job, and I was thinking I might like to get her something to show my appreciation."
"Oh, that's lovely! You seem like a generous employer," the cashier exclaimed, sounding like she was genuinely impressed with him.
"Thanks," John replied, leaning over the counter and looking her in the eyes. "Only problem is, there's so much here to choose from, and I'm having a hard time imagining how most of it would look on her." His mouth curled into an easy grin. "Do you think you could help preview some things for me?"
The cashier's face flushed. "Of course, sir!" she said with a sly twinkle in her eye. "It'd be my pleasure to assist you. Would you like some help picking out things to try, or would you like to handle it yourself?"
John pulled up Jenny's photos and measurements and showed them to the cashier. "This is her," he said. "Pick out a few things you think would suit her? You know your stock much better than I do."
The cashier examined the photo and replied, "Oh, she's a cutie! I think we definitely have a few things in stock that would look great on her. Could you watch the store for a moment?" John nodded. The cashier smiled, put a large "ON BREAK" sign on her counter, then glided out from behind it, a spring in her step betraying her excitement. She went to four shelves and grabbed a handful of sets, then turned to John. "I'll be right back," she said, a husky undertone creeping into her voice, and without further ado she sauntered into the changing rooms, hips swaying as she went.
